As a running back and linebacker on the football team, Casey earned three letters and helped lead the Lynx to three consecutive State Championships in 1988, 1989, and 1990. He was named All-Conference in 1989 and 1990, All-State in 1990, and Argus Leader Elite 45 in 1990. Casey was a part of a defense that allowed no more than 13 points in any one game during the season. He set school records for most tackles in a season with 147 during his senior year and 300 for his career.
After his career at Brandon Valley, Casey went on to become a four-year starter and letter winner at South Dakota State University as a cornerback and safety. While with the Jackrabbits, he played as a true freshman, and was voted four times as the most valuable defensive player.
His favorite memories from his time at BVHS were being a part of and winning three straight state championships.
